This section is designed to give you some ideas on how you might use <i>Conversations</i> in your classroom—ideas that we hope you can adapt to your own course goals and teaching style. Use the navigation bar on your left to link to a variety of resources, including a Sample Syllabus to give you some ideas on how to build your course around the "conversations" model; some useful links to Web sites that can supplement the readings in <i>Conversations</i>, organized by part (there are many more links in the student section as well); and a link to Supplements Central, where you can access a downloadable version of the Instructor's Manual. <p> New to this edition, you will also find links that can help you integrate visual rhetoric into your writing class by using the new Visual Conversations feature of the sixth edition. For more ideas on employing visual rhetoric, see: <ul> <li>the link to the left entitled "Teaching Visual Rhetoric" <li>the link to the left entitled "Web Links," where you will find a section entitled "Using Visual Rhetoric" <li>the Student Resources section, where each part includes links and writing exercises featuring visual rhetoric </ul> </p> <p> This Web site is designed to make your classroom as interactive and "conversational" as possible. In the Student Resources section, you and your students will find brief Part Summaries as well as the following features: Conversation Starters (prewriting exercises designed to get students thinking about the part's topics before they read the essays in the text); Getting Into the Conversation (prompts to encourage students to respond in writing to issues raised); Web Explorations (writing prompts that combine the readings from each part of <i>Conversations</i> with links to related Web sites); Web Destinations (which link students to some supplemental information and "conversations" on each part's topics for further research); and Visual Conversations (Internet links to images that can help you discuss visual rhetoric and visual arguments related to each part's topics). In combination with the rich array of readings in <i>Conversations</i>, this site can help students to listen and participate in the social dialogues that are going on all around them. </p> <br> <p /> <ul> <li> <a href="/long_selzer_conv_6/29/7670/1963683.cw/sitenav/index.html">Site Navigation</a><br /> <li> <a href="/long_selzer_conv_6/29/7670/1963683.cw/leftnav/index.html">Navigation for Instructor Resources</a> <ul> </body>
